I'm currently working on a '47 Dodge WC on a 87/88 Dakota regular cab/short bed frame. I lengthened the wheelbase to get it to the 116".
My first word of caution is the front track width. If you are not going to lower the body a huge amount, it will work. If you want it "in the weeds", it will not.
I have 4.5" wide wheels/tires in the front and it is marginal. Original dakota wheels help a bunch, they help tuck the wheels/tires under the front fenders.
Mock everything up first, then go from there. It will work, but it will take work.....
